Former India fast-bowler S Sreesanth last played a competitive game way back in 2013. However, it seems the tainted pacer still has the ability that made him one of the most sought after bowlers in the nation a while ago.

Sreesanth along with Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan received life ban by the BCCI’s disciplinary committee in September 2013. However, he was cleared of all charges by a Delhi trial court in 2015 due to insufficient evidence under the MCOCA act; a special law passed by the Maharashtra state government to tackle organised crime syndicates and terrorism.

But the BCCI has remained firm with its decision since it was independent to any criminal proceeding and was based on its independent disciplinary action. As a result, Sreesanth never managed to return to the field for India or any team related to the Indian cricket board. In fact, he even failed to obtain a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the BCCI to play outside India.

Last year, he had received an offer from a Scottish club. However, the BCCI did not give him the NOC. Time and again, Sreesanth has expressed his resentment over the treatment he gets from the BCCI. But it has made little difference so. And it looks like Sreesanth has finally moved on.

The 35-year old recently returned to a cricket field and shared a couple of posts on his Instagram account. One of them is going viral on internet as it shows Sreesanth bowling a ripper of a delivery to castle a batsman.

Here is the clip:

Sreesanth played 27 Tests, 53 ODIs and 10 T20Is, picking up 169 international wickets overall. He was also a part of the teams that won the 2007 World T20 and 2011 World Cup.
